Abstract

The translational friction coefficients, rotational friction coefficient, and intrinsic viscosity of rigid regular structures composed of up to eight identical spherical subunits have been accurately calculated. The aim of this calculation is to interpret the hydrodynamic properties of oligomeric subunit proteins. To avoid the well‐known failure of the theory in the evaluation of rotational coefficients and intrinsic viscosities, each subunit is hydrodynamically modeled as a polyhedral array of smaller spheres. The analysis of several alternatives suggests that a cubic array is the best choice. The reliability of this strategy is checked by comparison of the calculated values for all the transport properties of a sphere and the translational friction coefficients of a dimer with their exact values. Finally, the hydrodynamic properties of a number of subunit structures with varying number of subunits and different geometries are tabulated.
